This is the first official trailer for Iron Man 3, Posted on MarvelAU’s (Australia) YouTube Channel.

Shane Black will be taking over the director’s duties from Jon Favreau, although Favreau will remain as a Executive Producer, and will reprise his role as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark’s bodyguard and chauffeur.

The screenplay, also written by Black along with Drew Pearce, is based off of the “Extermis” storyline (although there appears to be some loose influences from Matt Fractions run, specifically the “World’s Most Wanted”, “Stark Disassembled”, “Long Way Down” and “The Future” storylines).

Ben Kingsley will star as The Mandarin, Stark’s archenemy from the comics, although he has been referenced in the first film, via his terrorist organization, “The Ten Rings”.
